Kyle Augustin

With a proven track record as a CEO / CTO and COO I have hands-on experience acting leading companies in technical and product creation. I bring a rare blend of strategic leadership, commercial leadership and deep technical expertise to the C-suite advisory space.

My background spans cybersecurity, product innovation, M&A integration, and enterprise architecture—making me uniquely positioned to support executive teams through growth, transformation, and high-stakes decision-making.

At Fintel IQ, I led the business through a critical growth phase that included multiple acquisitions and the seamless integration of diverse platforms into a single, high-performing product suite. As CEO, I built and executed the overarching vision, while also stepping in as CPO and CTO to shape product strategy, architect scalable systems, and align cross-functional teams. This 360-degree involvement ensured our acquisitions translated to real value—accelerating time to market, driving customer growth, and creating IP-led differentiation.

My advisory work centers on guiding boards, founders, and senior leadership through complex challenges where technology, product, and commercial strategy intersect. I advise on go-to-market planning, technical due diligence for acquisitions, and secure-by-design architecture—all with a focus on long-term scalability and resilience. I'm often brought in to help companies crystallize their product vision, resolve technical bottlenecks, or prepare for investment rounds and exits.

Cybersecurity remains a core part of my skillset, particularly in embedding security as a foundational pillar rather than an afterthought. I’ve helped organizations shift toward proactive threat models, improve posture ahead of audits and investor reviews, and reduce risk across cloud-native and hybrid environments.

What sets me apart is the ability to rapidly understand both business goals and technical constraints—then bridge the two with actionable, board-level insight. Whether advising a high-growth scale-up on their GTM strategy or helping a corporate navigate a complex integration, I bring calm, clarity, and momentum to every engagement.
